Force a new page.

rbuser

Is there a function to force a new page on run time?

I'm working with a report 3 columns and 1 group break. I only want to force
a new page if the next group doesn't fit on the current page. I tried to
work with the funciton 'keep together' but it doesn't work

Thanks

Hi Isabeau,

There are a few ways to cause a page break in ReportBuilder. The article I
posted below explains a couple of them. You can also try using the
Band.OutOfSpace property if you can get the timing correct.

As for KeepTogether not working, this is not a know issue with
ReportBuilder. Are you setting a group to KeepTogether and it is still
breaking in the middle of a page? I will need a little more information
about how you report is designed to help you get this working correctly.

Question:

How can I force a page break occur based upon
a condition calculated at run-time.

Solution:

Define a Group that starts on a new page when
it breaks. Then use the Group.OnGetBreakValue
event to control the timing of the break.

1. From the Report Designer, select Report | Groups
to access the Group dialog.

2. Define a group based upon a static component,
such as a Label or Variable. Click the
Start new page checkbox. Close the dialog.

3. Using the object inspector's drop down list,
find and select the TppGroup object.

4. Create an event-handler for the Group's
OnGetBreakValue event.

5. Add code to set the break value.


procedure Form1.Group1OnGetBreakValue(Sender: TObject; var aBreakValue:
String);
begin

if condition then
aBreakValue := 'Some Value';

end;
